LAWS OF HABIT.
The Desirability of Early Acquiring Fixed
Methods

The Desirability of Early Acquiring Fixed
Methods.
If the period between 20 and 80 is the
critical one in the formation of intellec-
tual and professional habits, says the
Popular Science Monthly, the period be-
low 20 is more important still for the fix
ing of personal habits, properly so called,
such as vocalizatiOn and pronunciation,
gesture, motion and address. Hardly
ever is language learned after 20 spoken
without a foreign account; hardly ever
can youth transferred to the society of
his betters unlearn the nasality and other
vices of speech bred in him by the as
sOc1at1ons of his growing years. Hardly
ever, indeed, no matter how much money
there be In his pocket, can he even learn
to dress like gentleman born. The
merchants offer their wares as eagerly to
him as the veriest "swell," but the simply
can't buy the right things. An invisible
law, as strong as gravitation, keeps him
within his orbit arrayed this year as he
was the last; and how his aristocraric
acquaintance contrive to get the things
they wear will be for him a mystery till
his dying day.
The great thing, then, in all education
Is to make automatic and habitual, as
early as possible, as many useful actions
as we can, and to guard against the grow
ing into ways that are likely to be disad-
yantaglous to US, as we should guard
against the plague. The more of the de-
tails of our daily life we can hand over
to the infallable and effortless custody of
the automatism, the more our higher
powers of mind will be set free for their
OWE proper work. There is no more
miserable human being than one in whom
nothing is habitual but indecision, and
for whom the lighting of every cigar, the
drinking of every cup, the time of rising
and going to bed every day, and the be-
ginning OF every bit of work are subjects
of express volitional elaboration. Full
half the time of such man goes TO the
deciding, or regrctting, of matters which
ought to have been so thoroughly Ingram
ed in him IS practically not to exist for
his consciousness at all.

The NewsbOy and the Doctor.
New York Herald.

A ragged, unkempt newsbOy pulled the
bell yesterday of No. 247 Lexington ave-
nue., the residence of DR.. Geo. f. Shrady,
and asked the servant if "the Doc was
in" Just then Or. Shrady emerged from
the parlor, and the newsbOy made a rush
at him with an upturned thumb.
"What's the matter, boy?" asked the
doctor
''Pisen'd thumb, DOCTOR" answered the
youth.

Shrady smiled and told him to put them

he got to the door of the study he sudden
ly turned back and said:
''Say, doctor, l only got mother left;
yer might tiers well have this" and he
Topped lthe second 'Daily Noos" on the
table. Then he padded off to the front

buy our outfit, and the rest we put into
cattle and expenses principally expen-
ses. My cattle men got into row with
a neighbor and his men ran our cattle
down into the canons. Then our foreman
took it into his head to sue US for his
pay, and although had made an Eexcel-

things went wrong. Ny report stated
that we had enjoyed an increrse in our
herd of 12O per cent.,-and that was the

The cate association in that district held

it was impossible for any herd to increase
at such a rapid rate, and, calling upon the

Puzzles for the Editor.

The column that some newspapers pub

amusing evidence sometimes of the

In his annual report the commissioner
of agriculture for Ontario remark as fol-
lows: The reports from the apia1ists of
the province are extremely contradictory
as to their industry during the past sea-
son. Some correspondents state that the
honey yield has been an unusually large
one, that bees have swarmed we'll, and are
in fine condition for winter, while others
in the very same township complain that
the very opposite of things prevails.
Taking the province as whole, however,
the favorable reports are in decided
majority, and the yield of honey may be
described as from fair to good. The
area of agriculture appears to be extend
ing in the province, notwithstanding that
some old apiarists have given up the in
dustry, owing to the fatality of recent
winters and the fact that the low price of
honey-S to 10 cents per pound, a figure
frequently quoted-is generally com
planned of.
